Look These Amazing 10 Bulletproof Items

People that are affluent and in the public spotlight require
protection that is subtle and concealable. Being in the public eye requires
these individuals to wear clothing that does not stand out from the norm. No
more is body armor the dominion of politicians and the military, it is now
available for the elite who can afford it. Today’s armor is no longer bulky and uncomfortable, modern
day technology has introduced new lightweight materials that are barely
discernable from ordinary fabric and textiles. The next evolution in fashion is
bulletproof clothing, correctly called ballistic or bullet resistant clothing
that protects its wearer from projectiles fired at close range.

New advances in technology has resulted in materials and
fabrics that are light weight and less bulky. When President Obama was swearing
his oath at his inauguration, he was wearing a bulletproof suit unbeknownst to
the general public. Crime levels are not decreasing anytime soon. If you can
afford it you too can have the benefit of feeling protected while looking good
at the same time.
